Keeper Magazine

Issue Nine sees Keeper’s continued growth in page count (107 pages!) and the addition of color pages. I believe we changed the page template and margin size for this issue to accomodate the new color signatures but that’s something I would do differently 20 years later — man those margins are too tight! Live and learn, I guess. Issue Nine also included our second volume of Keeper’s Free Metal and a CD was hand-stapled to all 15,000 copies, this time featuring a wide range of bands and styles from King Diamond to The Locust. Death by Stereo, Curl Up and Die, Watch Them Die feature along side hardcore hits from Unbroken, Donneybrook and Avenged Sevenfold.
